Per NFL Network on Q

[Shane]

Adam Schefter apparently getting ready to report that Q has requested to be traded and that he no longer wants to be a Cardinal!

 

[Max]

I hope this is a joke...

 

[Redsz]

What? That would be a surprise considering the article this morning.

 

[abomb]

Seriously.

 

[Russ Smith]

That would suck but it's par for the course with Drew Rosenhaus as your agent. Someone else on your team at your position gets a big contract you can bet that Rosenhaus is going to want more and will demand a trade if it helps get the contract.

 

[Goober Man]

I saw that on to. But Adam said nothing about him not wanting to be a Cardinal. And then he went on to say they'll listen to offers but will try to work on a new contract with Boldin. I really hope the Cardinals don't trade Boldin but if they do I wou'd like a 1st and a 3rd round pick for him.

Sounds like a national response to this;

Not surprised. But still floored. They're forcing our hand to the Cowturds IMO.

Gut punch!

 

[blindseyed]

Just saw that , I haven't heard any quotes from Q so I hope this isn't the truth. They said the Cards are willing to work on a new deal but not a trade. I hope Q isn't like Chad Johnson

Not necessarily it's standard operating procedure for Rosenhaus to demand a trade if he wants a new contract. doesn't mean he really wants a trade just that he wants a new contract with a new bonus which he gets a % of.

Boldin's been underpaid since day 1, I can't say I blame him. Fitzgerald has pretty much already made 2 times as much money over his shorter career

 

[Max]

I just can't imagine a trade scenario. We'd have a huge hole at receiver...

I think it's clear the Cards don't want to trade Q.

I think people just need to remember who his agent is and how he does business. Rosenhaus is a very confrontational agent, holdouts, trade demands etc. Players hire him because he's pretty good at getting them more money.

But you have to take anything he demands with a grain of salt he usually means I want more money.

It's always somethin....

Not necessarily it's standard operating procedure for Rosenhaus to demand a trade if HIS CLIENT wants a new contract. doesn't mean he really wants a trade just that he wants a new contract with a new bonus which he gets a % of as the negotiator of the new deal..

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Redsz]

Can someone post exactly what was said? Because I'm confused right now.

No way. I want the Cowboys both first round picks. Nothing less.

 

[Shane]

Its true just watched it on NFL network guys. Cards told him they wont trade him.

I would consider that........then trout smack myself and say "what was I thinking"......

Correct obviously Rosenhaus doesn't create contract problems if his client doesn't want a new contract.

But if they really are asking for a trade it doesn't necessarily mean Boldin wants to be traded, it's just a standard Rosenhaus tactic during a negotiation. He knows it puts pressure on a team to get the contract done.

Read it. When the Cards confirm the approaches from other teams its not surprising that Boldin and his agent would use this to press the issue.

In fact Schefter cpmared the situation to the one with chad johnson in Cincy!
